Star of Connection by Septi

[raw]
made by Septi for LD30 (JAM)
The evil wizard has stolen the Star of Connection,
that binds the worlds of the Four Elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth
Help Lucas save the world by retrieving the star and connecting
the worlds yet again!

Control the character by pressing left, right or up. Your goal on each level is just to find the exit. On your way to the exit you will encounter:

- Tentacles - can kill you while they are open, but are safe while closed.
- Scorpions - you can guess what happens...
- Stars - a checkpoint that you will start from, should you expire before reaching the exit.
- Trampoline - allows you to jump higher.
- Moving platform - can carry you to distant lands or can just suddenly disappear under your feet.
- Long falls - you are not immune to breaking your legs.

EDIT:

The original submission had game breaking bugs, so we have uploaded the fixed version. The fixes include:

1. You cannot fall out of the world anymore.
2. The water level is no longer broken, so it's not cut from the game anymore.
3. The earth level is fixed, so the game can now be completed.

It appears it's been 55 minutes since the end of submission hour... Please let me know if submitting bug fixes now is against the rules and I'll take the modified version down.

I finished it. Hardcore platformer, while it can be frustrating at times it has some nice level design. If you iterate on it you can make a great game.

Completed it, though the platform movement and ludicrously long falls didn't help here. >.<

And yes, naming folder "ld30" is not a good idea.
